Luke 14:26

Luke 14:26

26‘Whoever comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and even life itself, cannot be my disciple.

A friend and me was just discussing the issue of the Bible, and in an effort to discover the original person that decided what will and will not be part of the book of love... I surf across this quote, grouped together with eleven others as illustration of the proclaimed fact that the Bible does not inspire or teach anything of value.

The conclusion they reach is this: "So we are forced to ask a question: Why doesn't a book written by God leave you with a sense of wonder and amazement? If you are reading a book written by the all-powerful, all-knowing, all-loving creator of the universe, wouldn't you expect to be stunned by the brilliance, the clarity and the wisdom of the author? Would you not expect each new page to intoxicate you with its incredible prose and its spectacular insight?"

Fact is... the Bible as scripted consists of a compendium of sources, each telling the story of love and divinity from their own perspective and understanding. As Luke is one of the oldest and most "original" books in the Bible, to me it will also make sense that Luke would be one of the most trusting sources to chronicle the life and times of Jesus. As such it would also make sense that Jesus would say the words attributed to him by Luke. If enlightenment to God (or any which way you care to call His name) followed any universal principle, then the mere conscious grasp of the Spirit and all that it is would cast doubt on just about all of the historical understanding that Luke may have had about love.

The conscious grasp of a spirit that is exactly the opposite of everything that is life is a daunting challenge, even to such as the greatly beloved disciple called Lukas. But such is the Spirit eternal without any concept family, much less of anything remotely resembling the self. Where unity, love and eternal bliss is the be and the all... The exalted love we reserve for individuals simply does not exist as it does in the flesh. And at the realization of our own divinity, is that in itself not enough of a reason to question a given, existence itself?

To me, the quote by Luke portrays a man much like myself, who has been challenged to reassess what it is that he knows that he knows he knows. And in that challenge we either choose to embrace our spiritual being, much as we choose to engage the universe in our eternal quest to enlightenment and nirvana. Our choice made with the full knowledge that what we embrace is not only a loss of suffering and sin, but also a release from the bondage imposed by our own choice. In that choice we also transcend our previously held ideas about love. We simply become.

For it is written that our crossing to Spirit will be a clarion call...

Dual entanglement

Image
Everything is connected and all is vibration. As above so below. Nature manifest change in dual entangled, equal epposite expression. This is hardly a novel idea or ideology despite the beat efforts of Religion to obfuscate the principle and eradicate the knowledge we inherited from our ancestors. and the proof is evident in their symbolic depiction of it that has survived the demise of the culture that   synor is it the mystical, magical, or divine as Western scholars or the devout and devoted are want to believe. From a present aware of the nature of entrainment, mutual relevance and the entanglement of subatomic particles, the abovementioned 3000yo universal Vedic principles are entirely plausable. Everything is connected is an accurate if controversial description of the dual entangled and equal  mirror opposite nature of quantum particles that Einstein decried as "spooky action at a distance". Since then entanglement has given rise to a entirely new branch of physics. Th

What is... Resonance

Image
Wikipedia 250720 05:24pm (CAT) - In physics , resonance is the tendency of a system to oscillate at maximum amplitude at a certain frequency . This frequency is known as the system's resonance frequency. When damping is small, the resonance frequency is approximately equal to the natural frequency of the system, which is the frequency of free vibrations. A practical use of this tendency is the old disc gramophone as illustrated in the Harry Potter movie "Goblet of Fire" during the preparation for the ball. Interestingly enough, it illustrates the concept of resonance with multiple frequencies... I started to wonder... Resonating with this idea is the concept of "His Masters Voice", an interesting harmony with the most popular of all these gramophones, but in my construct I was thinking more in lieu of the "Voice of God", particularly after having read some of the apocrypha where the writers try to literally write down the teachings of Jesus after

Quantum proof of life, the universe, everything...

Image
If intention is the seed that fertilises our collective conciousness to give birth to existence, then the quote below is quantum proof of pretty much everything. It defines our universal role as observers on a mission to explore the myriad of possibilities we have, and manifest those that are the most appealing. In quantum mechanics,  wave function collapse  (also called collapse of the state vector or reduction of the wave packet) is the process by which a wave function, initially in a superposition of different eigenstates, appears to reduce to a single one of the states after interaction with an observer.  In simplified terms, it is the condensation of physical possibilities into a single occurrence, as seen by an observer. It is one of two processes by which quantum systems evolve in time according to the laws of quantum mechanics as presented by John von Neumann.[1] And thus we find that quantum mechanics provide the perfect proof to support the notion of where the m
